Overview
Careers
Standard regression models such as ordinary least squares that ignore such hierarchical structures can produce invalid results leading to incorrect conclusions. Mixed-effects regression models instead take into account this hierarchical structure when analyzing the data. Maastricht University - Center for European Studies' Multilevel Analysis of Longitudinal Data (MALD) will teach you more about that.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Standard linear regression model and its shortcoming
- Examples of multilevel designs
- Mixed-effects regression models including random intercept model, random intercept and slope model, models with serial correlations, and marginal models

Other requirements
General requirements
- Participants should be familiar with standard linear regression analysis at an intermediate level (e.g., successfully completed the courses Introduction to Statistics Part 1 and Regression Analysis, Statistics Part 2). Without this basic knowledge, the course will be hard to follow. In any case, the participant should be familiar with dummy variables, interpretation of the regression parameters as well as experience working with SPSS (or R if it is preferred).
- All PhD students and researchers involved in studies that consider longitudinal and multilevel data in medical, epidemiological, and social and behavioral research.
